That was last year though. Long after his cards were selling for thousands. I'm talking about back then, he hadn't played a single ML game yet.

ETA: sorry, I did misspeak when I said he still hasn't played a ML game. My bad. But regarding his cards selling for so much, that was before that.

Wander Franco was hyped to the moon, stars and sun long before he played his first game. That worked out well.

The reason I don't collect much new stuff is because it's not just gambling now (and for years), it's massively skewed toward gambling. I buy a few packs or blasters a year...sometimes a hobby box.

Even simple entry-level product like flagship Topps, you're looking at $90+ for a hobby box and you're going to need 2 of them to get most of the set complete, and that's just for 1 of the 2 series. You're better off waiting for the compete set to be sold at less cost than even a single hobby box if you're just in it for the cards.

Some people don't even save base. They toss everything but the hits and maybe save some of the current hot RCs.

I leave the busting of packs to others and fill my personal collection with singles. The tipping point between the fun of putting together a set vs the cost to do it is way out of whack to the point it's not fun.

I'm near positive a scout called him a cross between Bo Jackson, Mickey Mantle and Mike Trout. I'll believe it, when I see it.

Really hope he stays healthy. His power and movement is just filthy. Fun to watch.
